Summary
A new first-round mock draft centers on a four-team blockbuster that sends Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami, with Detroit landing Tyler Herro and the Lakers taking Isaiah Stewart plus No. 41.
Milwaukee’s projected return is the biggest haul: Nos. 13 and 21 in this draft, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Jarred Vanderbilt, Ron Holland, Caris LeVert, and 2029 and 2031 first-round picks.
The mock has the Bucks using those new picks on Hannes Steinbach at No. 13 and Labaron Philon at No. 21, while also taking Nate Ament at No. 10 as the franchise pivots into a rebuild.
Other projected draft-night moves include Sacramento trading up from No. 7 to No. 5 with the Clippers, Charlotte moving to No. 11 for Aday Mara, and Golden State sliding back to No. 18 for extra future picks.
At the top of the board, the mock projects Washington to take AJ Dybantsa at No. 1, Utah Cameron Boozer at No. 2, and Memphis Darryn Peterson at No. 3.
